Kwaw Kese Criticizes Ghana Police for Random Search

Kwaw Kese, a veteran rapper, recently criticized the Ghana Police. He claimed they stopped and searched him on Spintex Road. This incident occurred on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

In a video shared on Instagram, Kwaw expressed his anger. He said police searched his car for about 30 minutes. They suspected he had illegal substances in his vehicle.

Kwaw questioned the police's motives during the search. He wondered why they targeted him in public. The rapper stated he would never carry illegal substances openly.
